Nothing makes you quite as hellbent on solving a problem as your own personal experience. Why is our team so intent on making software easy? Here’s a quick background:
Our founders launched a startup while in college, named Applits, with a mission to shake up the mobile application industry by crowdsourcing app ideas. The Applits community submitted ideas for the ‘next big app,’ and a public voting process determined which apps were brought to life.
It became clear to us what to do next: we decided to close Applits so we could forge our own agency to solve these exact problems. Following the classic “necessity is the mother of invention” philosophy, we built what we wish we could have found as paying clients years ago. We have poured over our process to identify the key actions and steps for success when building mobile-first software for demanding consumers.
Three years, over 2,000 ideas, and 16 launched apps later, we understood first-hand the strategies and struggles of designing and developing quality mobile apps. We found a severe lack of agencies that understood the needs of startups and established businesses conscious of the business case behind why the software is being built, and having a process that ensured the success of the product with its users.
We have a talented team that will dedicate themselves to the success of your project, guiding you through the complex ecosystem of creating custom software. We've proven time and time again that app development doesn't have to be complicated. With Designli, you can expect the process of building a digital product to never be a mystery.
We’re made up of top product experts, designers, engineers and product managers who treat client projects as if they were our own.
Technology can be daunting, but we brighten the process by shaking things up and sticking to a positive, healthy approach that helps educate our clients and keeps things on track.
We foster an environment that allows our team to be honest and open with our client partners, creating a family-like environment that breeds positive results through collaborative decision-making.
We go to extra lengths in order to solve problems our clients are facing, beyond just the digital technology execution. We often have a seat at the table to help advise, guide or otherwise be useful to make sure the projects and products are successful. We treat our clients like true partners, and we root for them all the way through. Your success is our success.
We understand our client partners have a reputation to protect. We don’t “farm out” projects, and we don’t cut corners. We do value speed, and efficiency, and we approach projects with a “lean” methodology, but we thoroughly detail every step and we’re stringent about our product testing. We have tight controls over the products we create, and we don’t launch until all boxes are checked.
Utility aims to provide white-glove service to our client partners, without the hassles of typical agency-client headaches. We over-communicate throughout our projects, and we never disappear. We like to settle situations in a practical matter, and with the close collaboration of our clients, we come to smart resolutions in a way that feels natural.
We’re a team of positive-minded folks, but we’re not grandiose or unrealistic. We believe in redirecting possible issues into productive solutions. There’s never just one answer, but there is always at least some answer, and by committing to steering a calm presence, we always end up on the right side with our client partners.
Utility is led by industry veterans who have come together from various areas of discipline to serve client partners with a well-rounded, expert-level approach to modern technology solutions.
